the 18 offset doesn't really stick out it will sit the tire about flush with the fender. Its all in your preference whether you want the tire to stick out or not. also depends on the tire.

Can't remember the offset but these are 20x9 with 5.5 back spacing. The tires are 325/60/20 and the stick out just a little.

yeah i know im just trying to see what the different offsets look like on these vehicles i had an old school wagon wheel on an older chevy and it stuck out about 1 1/2 inches on each side looked sick. im looking for something that will stick out about an inch give a nice wide stance. i have after market wheels which came on the truck but they dont stick out at all they are a positive offset....a -18 should stick out of the fender i think.

thats the purpose of this post is to see what offset people have and what sticks out. dont see much more then a -18 or -20 offset when im looking up wheels though.


WHYNOTT those wheels are sick, very nice rig i have a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit and an add a leaf

Thanks! I had to stay around the stock back spacing since I did not go with a full lift.

why did you have to go with stock back spacing? just didnt want the tires to rub? i should be able to run the same tire but with a different offset i guess the back spacing is osmething to look at to i look at the off set which is where the flat part of the wheel is to the back of the rim

compaired to offset which is the reference point of where the wheel attaches to the hub to where it meets the center point of the rim.

with this being said that a -18 off set makes the rim stick out because its 18mm from the center line to the inside of the rim...an positive offset is where if you measure from the center line of the rim and if your wheel bolts on past the center line its positive.

why did i explain that all here is a link that shows this...also im just clarifing this so everyone is on the same page
